This Supernatural Story
Soderbergh tests his creative boundaries in this nifty ghostly tale shot entirely through the eyes of a ghost.

This Dramatic Portrait
In the struggle between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for materialism in Michael Showalter's wonderfully garish true story about the fallen TV preacher and her felon spouse. Andrew Garfield portrays the greedy Jim, who states at the beginning, claiming divine approval for wealth. Both individuals set about profiting from the people's religious faith. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, overdone appearance and bad faith, yet the lead actress manages to depict the character as a sympathetic figure.
